   • Clean the chicken thoroughly, then cut it into small pieces. Using a food processor, grind the chicken until it reaches a finely minced consistency.

2. Mix the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and tapioca flour. Add thinly sliced green onions, and season the mixture with chicken bouillon, salt, and sugar according to your taste. Mix and knead until the ingredients are well incorporated.

3. Assemble the Dim Sum:

   • Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center. Fold and seal the wrapper around the filling, shaping it to your preference. Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during steaming.

4. Steam the Dim Sum:

   • Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Arrange the dim sum in the steamer basket, making sure they are not touching to allow for even cooking. Steam the dim sum for about 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is thoroughly cooked and the wrappers are tender.

5. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, mix together the chili sauce, sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Gradually add water to achieve your desired consistency, then stir until well combined.

6. Serve:

   • Garnish the steamed dim sum with grated carrot for a touch of color and texture. Serve the dim sum hot with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
